Dear Family and Friends,

My name is Amanda Estime, and I am a third-year Health Science student on the Pre-Physician Assistant track at the University of Florida. I am honored to be participating in the Miss Black and Old Gold Scholarship Pageant with the Theta Sigma Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated as Contestant #5.

My journey is rooted in service, advocacy, and community care. As someone pursuing a future in healthcare, I am deeply committed to supporting others through education, outreach, and leadership. Whether working with students navigating their path to college or engaging in community-based health initiatives, I believe meaningful change begins when we invest in people and uplift one another.

Participating in this pageant allows me to continue growing as a leader while representing the values I carry into every space I serve. Your support helps make this experience possible by assisting with pageant expenses and allowing me to fully show up in this opportunity.

More than anything, your contribution is an investment in a young woman committed to service, growth, and creating spaces where others feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Thank you for your encouragement, generosity, and belief in me

With gratitude,

Amanda Estime, your Contestant #5
